During my life's experience I have periodically had the opportunity to have useful tidbits of information tossed in my direction not knowing it they will ever be useful for me and my goings on or not.

At the time of my chance for a closeup inspection a of a 600/43 a year ago, I learned that the take-down of this pistol can be sort of tricky. The owner whipped out a .50 cal. rifle case and showed me how it fits without modification over the barrel and allows you to have a simple take-down and no worry of seeing parts fly across the room.

I've had one for about 40 years now. A 600 in the original box. Being left handed it is not pleasant to shoot due to the lanyard loop,but it is very accurate. I believe the pistol is very underrated for function and accuracy.

I have had a thing for Astras since watching them on Mission Impossible... They were always the Side arm of choice when Jim went undercover against the European People's Republic police or army. Love Falcan 5000 with the exposed hammer..
